It must be modular, IIRC. At least that's the standard way of doing things. > 2> install the card This can come first. Boot into initlevel 3.

Am I missing something? That's most of it. NVIDIA's documentation should be *very* good and I recommend reading it *first*. Generally speaking: - configure 2D using the nv driver - compile the module, install the GLX libs - edit XF86Config-4 to switch from nv driver to nvidia, and add the line to make sure XF86Config-4's Modules section includes the glx module. - start X with xinit and then run gears or glxinfo to test I probably forgot something, but there you go.
